What's Best For You

In selecting your radiator or towel warmer it is important that you consider the out-put required to heat your room. All you need to do is measure the length, height and width of the room and include several variations which could effect the heat loss of the room (such as double glazing). We have our own BTU calculator which you can use to generate an estimate for the amount of Watts or BTU's required. BTUs are British Thermal Units, the accepted measure of radiator output, where 3.41 BTU's are equal to 1 Watt. Click the Image below to use our BTU Calculator!

You don’t need to achieve the required output with one radiator so long as the total output of your selection closely matches your BTU requirement.

Hydronic, Electric or Dual Fuel?

As part of an existing central heating system, a hydronic radiator or towel warmer is a perfect choice for you. If you want to use your radiator independently of your central heating system, i.e. to dry towels in the summer, you should consider electric or dual fuel options. Dual fuel means that your radiator will function as part of your central heating system during winter, or independently for instance if you only want to dry a towel. If a room is not currently served by a central heating system, it may be cheaper to install an electrically powered radiator rather than to extend your plumbing.

Vertical, Horizontal or Free Standing?

Once output requirements are satisfied choice of style should be driven by taste. However there are important considerations such as the position of existing pipe work and the relative strength of walls.

Benefit of Aluminium?

Fast response - Aluminium’s high conductivity allows it to respond instantly to changes in water temperature, which is, in turn, controlled by the thermostatic radiator valve responding to room temperature.

Efficient - With the fast response times, the central heating can be timed on a “just-in- time” basis, never heating an empty house either prior to arrival or after departure.

Energy saving - Low water content contributes to a substantial saving in energy

Environmentally Friendly - Easy to recycle

Non corrosive - Aluminium radiators do not rust.

Benefit of Mild Steel

Most versatile material for radiator manufacture.

Because of its versatility, mild steel radiators are generally cheaper to produce.
